What consequences could the organism have, if it did not adapt to the increasing height with its different conditions?
b. Find out about air obstacles, check the inexistence of airways in the area with the nearest airport and plan the flight according to the circumstances.
a. Inspect the landing field, inquire about air obstacles and notify the nearest airport chief of the flight.
c. Notify the nearest airport manager of the flight, plan the flight according to the circumstances and inspect the landing.
c. What are the possible wind directions and what are the obstacles for the corresponding approaches.
a. Due to the difference in temperature between the forest and the take-off terrain, thermal landslides and therefore turbulences are often created.
c. The forest is exposed to the sun, while the forest clearing does not receive the same amount of heat, that creates a zone of tailwind.
b. On the ground the wind is calm, while at the height of the peaks the wind blows, causing areas of turbulence.
12) A constant slope wind of 25 km / h blows in the take-off area. What take-off method do you consider the most suitable?
c. On slightly sloping terrain, inflate on my back to prevent the glider from pulling me off the ground prematurely.
a. On steep terrain, get as close to the trailing edge as possible and accelerate to full throttle so that the machine inflates vigorously.
c. Plan the flight according to the circumstances, inspect the landing and learn about air obstacles.
b. Find out about air obstacles, notify the nearest airport manager of the flight, plan the flight according to the circumstances and inspect the landing.
a. Inspect the landing field and inquire about air obstacles and notify the nearest airport chief of the flight.
a. It is not allowed, because you could disturb other aircraft that are already carrying out landing traffic.
A takeoff without wind is different at an altitude of 3600 meters than at 1400 meters, from such that the take-off run at 3600 meters ...
After take-off, we were unable to sit in the chair, due to not having tightened the leg straps sufficiently. Howwouldyoureact?
c. I move a bit off the ground, hold the two brakes with one hand and place the chair board with the other.
Immediately after take-off, you notice that the left brake is locked and discover a brake knot in the ring of the rear band. Whatisthecorrectbehavior?
c. I use the rear band on the left side, until I have a safe distance from the ground. Then I trytoloosentheknot.
a. I fly as fast as possible, open the trimms (if I have one) and pull bands A and B to the limit that turbulence and the device itself allow.
The takeoff is at 1600 meters, the valley at 400 meters. The manufacturer promises a glide of 6. What is the maximum distance that can be covered in calm conditions?
A pilot encounters a rising air mass and attempts to rotate it. After 90º his vario indicates descent. What is the best maneuver?
a. After a 180º turn fly straight, because now the lift is in front of the pilot, then he has to center again.
A pilot rotates within a thermal descent, without influence of winds. You want to quickly gain height. Suddenly he loses the ancestry and his varioindicates strong offspring. What remedy is usually the most appropriate?
c. Open the trimms of the glider. This way you will have a more homogeneous current, contouring the profile. The probability of a loss will bereduced.
a. Favorable headwind, the horizontal speed with respect to the ground is almost zero, the device only descends.
b. We did not notice the favorable headwind, there is no pressure on the controls, the soffit becomes loose and has a concave shape between the lines of suspension.
a. The glider folds frontally so that the wingtips come forward to the center, leading to a collapse of the canopy.
How would you react at the time of realize an imminent asymmetric detachment of the current (asymmetric stall)?
What consequence could an asymmetric fold of 50% have, if the pilot continues to fly without intervening with the brakes?
c. The air stream would come off asymmetrically from the profile, the paragliding come in one autorotation.
a. I would pump on the folded side, to recover the pressure as soon as possible and to avoid a significant loss of height
c. Stabilize the flight by braking. adequately the open side of the wing and, if necessary, help the folded side by applying long and alternating braking.
We go through a turbulent zone, through which our paraglider begins to swing in the longitudinal and transverse axis. Whatwouldyou do?
a. Stay comfortably in the harness andfly slightly under braking, without compensating for these oscillating movements.
c. That the apparatus turns on the lines, caused by rapid movements in the vertical axis (autorotation), for which the pilot cannot follow this movement, due to inertia.
c. Very tight rotation on the vertical axis, whereby the centrifugal force considerably increases the load factor.
c. Very tight rotation on the vertical axis, whereby the centrifugal force considerably increases the load factor.
a. Starting it symmetrically is quite demanding, depending on the paragliding model and when exiting you have the danger of parachute.
A landing is on a slightly sloping downward slope. Landing only allows you to land up or down, with zero wind. Whatwouldbethecorrectsolution?
c. It serves a certain order between the pilots on approach and guarantees you a greater precision in the landings.
You are in the final stretch and you realize that you are a bit high. What decision would be the most appropriate?
c. Extend the final section, pass the landing point and make a 180º turn to enter the opposite direction.
a. The branches give way due to the weight of the pilot and the glider, the pilot falls to the ground.
b. The pilot leaves the harness without having been secured by ropes, the branches give way under the weight of the pilot and he falls to the ground.
You fly together with a hang glider at the same height and in the same thermal. Howcouldyouendangerthepilot of thewing?
b. Whenever the situation seems uncontrollable, depending on the height and the corresponding time left to act.
c. After an autorotation when the lines have several twists and the glider enters a spiral independently.
a. Pulling the bands B, C or D to prevent the glider from flying and taking an upright position on the harness.
c. Slightly bending the legs, joining and tightening the knees, facing forward and crossing the arms over the chest.
If you are the first to approach an injured person, you will try to clarify the situation with the following questions:
If it is necessary to transport an injured person by helicopter, before their arrival, it would be necessary ...
b. Evacuate the scene of the accident of all kinds of loose objects such as jackets, paragliders, etc.
b. Allows you to check if the terrainhas an inclination, if there are significant obstacles, see where the windsock is located, and if we previously see a landingpilot, check from the ground how the approach maneuvers are carried out.
a. The proximity of the landing field with respect to takeoff, the performance or glide rate of the wing, the intensity and direction, the presence of ascents and descents, and the pilot's maneuvers.
Paragliders are more sensitive to the wind compared to other aircraft, they have a limited speed range and a lesser capacity to appreciably vary the glide angle, but they also enjoy greater maneuverability. Taking into account the particular orography of our landings and landscape, of the following types of approach, which one / s would you use to expand the safety margins:
Performing the approach maneuver in the final planing section, we realize that we have an excess of height (we are between 8 and 12 meters high with respect to the ground). What will we do?
c. Any correction with the brakes, we will do it smoothly, and we will even use the body to correct or perform eights; in any case, never "aboutcommand ”alternately, one brake and the other.
Depending on the length of the field, the contact or landing point will be more or less far from the entrance gate on the axis of the wind. The height of the gate will depend on the size of the field, the obstacles around it and the intensity of the wind. Example: If the field is very short, the axis must be….
a. Pointing at a certain angle towards the wind and waiting for the resulting trajectory to take us precisely in a straight line towards the destination we are looking for, be it towards the front or to any of the independent sides of the wind.
b. The drift correction angle will depend on the speed and direction of the wind and our flight speed.
